The Yellowtec iXm digital recording microphone features a built-in SD card slot that accepts standard SD or SDHC memory cards. Designed as an all-in-one tool for reporters in the field, it provides perfect auto levelling by way of its unique LEA engine. The Yellowtec iXm's microphone capsule is made by German specialist Beyerdynamic and has been optimized for high speech intelligibility and low handling noise sensitivity. The capsules are twist-off-twist-on exchangeable and designed to suit varying recording environments. Omnidirectional, cardioid and supercardioid pick up patterns are available, and the capsules are automatically detected for automatic gain and DSP adaption.

The Yellowtec iXm utilises an intelligent levelling algorithm the combines a slow-acting gain leveller with a look-ahead peak limiter and avoids ADC distortion by converting the microphone signal twice. Files are stored on the SD card as WAV, BWF or MP2.

A unique dual power concept offered with the Yellowtec iXm provides a total operation time of up to 16 hrs. The Yellowtec iXm comes with a built in, rechargeable li-on battery and features a redundant battery compartment for three standard AA cells. Its port panel holds a USB 2.0 port for downloading recordings or recharging an internal battery. Three intuitive indicators are featured on the mic’s dashboard: Record Ready - Recording, battery status and memory status.
